Well I wish I had some memories that I'd keep inside my trunk

And I wish I had me a sailing ship that'd take me over the sea
C E7 Am A7 D
I wish I could talk you into coming home with me
[Chorus]
C E Am E Am
Is this the part where I came in Well, I've heard this song before

Had a couple too many but I think I can find the door

And I saw it in my mirror A couple of times before

In every town the ladies hang 'round Just to get a taste of me
